LAUNCESTON area primary schools recently took part in two cross country races at Warbstow.
Competitors from eight local primary schools participated in the annual Launceston Area Primary Schools cross country event hosted by Warbstow CP School on Thursday, May 7.
There were four races, with each school entering teams of four children. The event was very competitive and it was good to see such a high standard of long distance runners in the Launceston area.
All the teams were congratulated and thanks were expressed to all the supporters and parents who helped to make the event such a success.
